Thousands of demonstrators have gathered outside the Israeli Prime Minister's residence to share their rage at the Israeli prime minister and his handling of the war in Gaza.
Protesters have clashed with Israeli police outside Benjamin Netanyahu's home as they called for him to quit as Prime Minister.
Mounted officers reportedly charged into the crowd to stop them breaking through, while water cannons were also deployed to disperse the furious crowds. Merav Svirsky, who lost both her parents in the Hamas attack, and whose brother was later murdered in Gaza, said Netanyahu is in no hurry to free the hostages.
'You are a pharaoh, a slayer of firstborns - 240 were kidnapped on your watch - it's your fault,' declared Einav Zangauker, whose son Matan is one of the 134 still being held in Gaza by Hamas. He called for snap elections, saying 'the man responsible' for the calamity should be 'removed from the steering wheel'.
The usually bullish Netanyahu has appeared both physically and politically fragile after leaving a hospital in Jerusalem today after a hernia operation.
